The Blue Vision Summit is a conference where students, activists, policy makers and ocean conservation leaders are brought together to create strong connections and facilitate tangible change. Focusing on the key themes of putting an end to offshore drilling by 2030, eliminating plastic pollution in our oceans and building coastal resiliency through smart ecosystem-based planning, the 2017 6th biennial summit aims to defend the blue in our red, white and blue.

Global oceans serve as the source of all life on earth, providing 99% of the Earth’s living space, 97% of Earth’s water supply, over 50% of the atmosphere’s breathable oxygen, a crucial carbon sink for increasing levels of greenhouse gases, and, as of 2015, $24 trillion dollars in resources. Despite the ocean’s immense importance, reports from 2015 revealed almost 50% declines in marine populations and it has become increasingly evident that the human impact on oceanic and coastal ecosystem has had drastic consequences. The 2017 Blue Vision Summit aims to address this problem and establish viable solutions to restore the health of our oceans. Let’s draw the line together. Join us for the 6th biennial summit May 9 – 11 at The George Washington University. #ShareOurBlueVision #BVS6 #DefendOurOcean
